Beyoncé has waged war against bosses of arts and craft website Etsy.com over the sale of handmade goods which allegedly infringe her brand.

The singer’s attorney has threatened legal action against Etsy bosses over a seller who is offering up mugs emblazoned with a diamond band and the word ‘Feyoncé,’ a play on ‘fiancé’ and a purported reference to Beyoncé’s song Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).

Editors at TMZ.com report Beyoncé’s team fired off a letter to the company threatening legal action over the mugs, prompting bosses to remove the seller’s goods from the trading portal.

However, the website still lists a variety of Feyoncé goods from other sellers, including T-shirts, glasses and cards.

Beyonce’s dad Mathew Knowles held a yard sale in Houston, Texas, last week to offload old memorabilia featuring his superstar daughter.

Knowles was selling off a number of souvenirs from Beyonce’s career, including massive cardboard posters of Destiny’s Child, tour merchandise, clothing from her fashion line House of Dereon and various CDs and DVDs.

According to TMZ.com, Knowles was also trying to sell office furniture outside his workplace in Houston.

Pop superstar Beyonce has cast doubt on rumors she is set to become a mother for a second time by posing with a glass of Champagne at an end of tour party.

The singer and her husband Jay-Z were rumored to be expecting a sibling for their daughter Blue Ivy after the rapper reportedly changed the lyrics in one of his songs during a live show in France on Friday to suggest the star is pregnant.
Jay-Z is said to have rapped in his song Beach Is Better, “Pregnant with another one,” in place of, “I replace it with another one.”

However, the pair appears to have dismissed the pregnancy rumors by posing with glasses of Champagne at an end of tour party just a day after the reported lyric change.

The snap, which shows Jay-Z and Beyonce laughing and holding up their glasses of booze, was posted on the rapper’s Life + Times Twitter page.

Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles, is convinced speculation that her marriage to Jay-Z was on the rocks was created to boost ticket sales for their joint tour.

The couple was hit with split rumors during its On The Run trek, which began in June, and neither of the stars spoke publicly to defend their six-year marriage or deny the reports.

Beyonce’s mother, Tina, blasted the speculation, insisting “everything’s perfect,” and now the former Destiny’s Child star’s dad and ex-manager, Mathew, has accused promoters of encouraging the rumors to drum up interest in the concerts.

He tells Texas radio station 104.1 KRBE, “I know, because we’ve done this from experience. There’s a tour going on, so you sometimes have to ignite that tour. It’s called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot at time.”

Mathew Knowles also alludes to the infamous elevator bust-up between Jay Z and his sister-in-law Solange Knowles in May, adding, “All I know is the Jedi mind trick. Everyone’s talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange’s album sales went up 200 percent!”

One of BET’s top executives has reached out to apologize to Beyonce and Jay-Z after their young daughter became a butt of a terrible joke on Monday.

During BET’s 106 & Park show, guest Karrueche Tran poked fun at Blue Ivy’s wild hair at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, where Beyonce and her husband attempted to dismiss split reports by attending the event with their daughter.

Chris Brown’s girlfriend was asked to read from a script of jokes speculating what Blue Ivy was thinking while she watched her mother perform onstage, and when she said, “‘I really did wake up like this because my parents never combed my hair”, Tran immediately knew she had gone too far, adding, “Sorry, Blue! I love you!”

That apology didn’t appease Beyonce fans who took to social media to attack the model, prompting Tran to tweet, “Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyonce and Blue Ivy! I didn’t write this script y’all lol (laugh out loud).”

The backlash finally prompted Stephen G. Hill, the president of music programming and specials for BET Networks, to apologize on behalf of his company.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, he wrote, “Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful (sic) joke made about a young child… We apologize publically (sic) to the child’s parents (and have done so privately) and we have taken punitive actions with those responsible.”

He added, “It was very bad judgment and we will serve you much better in the future. And please don’t hate on Karrueche; it was NOT her fault. We also apologize to her for putting her in that position.”

(4/4) Oh, and please don’t hate on Karrueche; it was NOT her fault. We also apologize to her for putting her in that position.

Beyonce surprised her friend Nicki Minaj with a diamond necklace to thank her for featuring on a remix of the superstar’s song “Flawless.”

Earlier this month, the “Drunk in Love” hit maker released a surprise version of the song from her self-titled album, with an added verse by Minaj.

Both music stars took to the stage at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, and Beyonce showed her thanks to the “Superbass” hit maker with a one of a kind gift.

Minaj took to Instagram.com on Monday and posted a photo of a gold necklace with the word Flawless encrusted in diamonds, along with the caption, “If Beyonce didn’t walk into your dressing room and give you a diamond ‘FLAWLESS’ necklace, then there’s no way you could be having a better week than me.

“Thank u QUEEN. ur just a precious gem. I could never thank you
enough for your influence on powerful women all around the world.”

Beyonce’s mother has dispelled rumors her daughter’s marriage to Jay-Z is on the brink of collapse, insisting the couple’s relationship is “perfect.”

Speculation around the couple’s marriage has been growing for months and recent rumors suggested the stars would announce their separation following the end of their joint On The Run tour this month.

The pair has yet to comment on the story, but the singer’s mother, Tina, has now blasted the claims, insisting the stars are still together and very happy.

She tells TMZ.com, “Haters going be haters and there’s nothing we can do about that … everything’s perfect.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z married in 2008. They have a 2-year-old daughter named Blue Ivy.

Beyonce is to take up a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nearly 20 years before she is eligible for admission as bosses launch an exhibition dedicated to the pop superstar.

The singer’s stage costumes from her 2013 Super Bowl performance will be put on display at the institute’s museum in Cleveland alongside pieces from music legends including Michael Jackson and David Bowie.

The exhibition will also feature the iconic leotard she wore in her “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” video, an outfit from her “Crazy in Love” promo and a Givenchy gown worn to the 2012 Met Gala in New York City.

Curator Meredith Rutledge-Borger says of the exhibition, “We felt that (Beyonce) really needed to take her rightful place alongside Aretha Franklin and the Supremes and Janis Joplin.”

A spokesperson for Beyonce adds, “For an artist to be able to have a presence where all of her idols and mentors live, it is a big deal. It’s very meaningful to an artist when you feel like you’ve accomplished certain levels and to be asked to be part of this before she’s eligible, I think that’s really special.”

Beyonce will first become eligible for a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 as a member of Destiny’s Child, and as a solo artist in 2027.
